One of the many bridge bases lining the side of the M5 Interchange.
They are going to be hoisting the bridge onto these support structures piece by piece.
Can't wait for them to get it over and done with - not because I want less traffic congestion (well of course I want that) but because I want to see what it's going to look like.

Couple more work-in-progress shots of the Preacher.
Base is assembled and I'm getting the first low basecoats on. Unlike the main miniature, the base will feature plenty of drybrushing and washes. Colours will be much more saturated and brighter eventually.

Originally based on an idea by wife and husband duo Marie and Jym, the Gin Festivals were conceived in early 2012. It is exactly what you expect it to be. and kinda like any other food and drink festival - but with an obvious focus on the wonderful world of gin and gin related stuff. So, think gin masterclasses, the chance to meet lots of cool brands (big and small) - sample their gins, and buy things that make your mouth go ‘DAMN SON’ (such as some of the lesser known, American bourbon cask aged numbers…or Sipsmith’s mighty VJOP…I could go on but I won't)
The Gin Festivals are all over the country at this point - Manchester, Milton Keynes, Hebdon Bridge, Newcastle, Norwich etc. They also have an online store, selling stuff like home made gin kits, a whole load of rare and craft gins, that kinda good stuff that maybe you forgot to buy at the event. I guess my verdict would be that it had a lot of potential but could have been far bigger! MORE. WE NEED MORE OF EVERYTHING.
Another connection I made here was the overlap between the vintage and gin scenes. The excellent Charlie Hookson Sykes (@The_Lady_Sybil - who amongst many things writes for Tasting Britain) seems to have been doing this for a while but I didn’t know it was quite so common. You can see this in the way in way that much of the staff were dressed (polka dot dresses or blokes wearing things with braces). I suppose this makes sense since gin goes back a few centuries - and it doesn’t really get more ‘vintage’ than that!

I found these at the base of Carn Ingli near Newport in North Pembrokeshire, hence the title. Someone had obviously had a good time but decided to discard their empties in the undergrowth. I wouldn't be surprised it this was the cause of the fire on the mountainside either which exposed these for the world to see.
Challenger SC - 6 Passenger S-eVTOL, Superconducting Graphene based vtol edf's.
www.ioaircraft.com/vtol/challenger-sc.php
Length - 30' 11"
Span - 26' 2"
EOW - 1,500 LBS
MTOW - 4,200 LBS
Vertical Thrust - 5,600+ LBS
Cruise - 250-400kts
Range - 800nm
Fuel - 16,000 PSI Compressed Hydrogen (patented technology)
Power - Hydrogen Fuel Cell
Propulsion - 8X Graphene based superconducting vtol edf's, 700+ LBS vertical lift each
Challenger SC is a new technology level for aerospace, incorporating a graphene airframe and skin, not carbon fiber or fiberglass. This means the aircraft itself, before adding hardware, propulsion, gear etc is only a fraction of the weight compared to carbon fiber composite construction.
Additionally, CVD based graphene is superconducting material, with well over 10X the current throughput vs copper, which then creates a super conducting magnetic field, providing well over 400% increased shaft horspower being delivered to the Graphene EDF blades, which can cycle through 30,000 rpm, at less energy input vs if they were copper based brushless motors.
And since the EDF unit is multi staged, for extremely high thrust output, each stage operates independently from the other which allows for maximum efficiently of the airflow.
The VTOL nozzles for this propulsion system can rotate to 95° providing a 1.5 to 1 thrust ratio at maximum passenger and fuel capacity. Additionally, the inboard nozzles can rotate laterally 15°, but the outboard nozzles can rotate up to 90° rapidly (under 1 second) to provide a very superior control authority for both slow speed and hover flight.
This results in maximum stability in turbulent and urban conditions, and above 30kt gust stability.
Challenger SC, can take off and land conventionally, STOL (short take off and landing), and VTOL (vertical take off and landing).
Additional aspect of these performance aspects, because it has a very high vertical thrust capacity, it can operate in higher altitude conditions.
The cabin for Challenger SC is very comfortable, with dimensions to comfortable seat an adult male up to 6' 6" and 300 LBS.
Safety aspects for crash survivability include a Ballistic Recovery System (BRS, 5G crush resistence, and the seats incorporate a siccor suspension system which in case of a hard landing or failure, will providing enormous shock absorbtion for the passengers.
Since the aircraft is BRS equipped, if this were to ocurr, the scissor suspending within the seats, ensures all passengers would incurr no injuries and walk away.
An additional major safety feature, if one of the propulsion systems fail, the other unit within it's nacelle will take up the entire load of the it's pair, and the aircraft can still land safety in vtol mode if it is a light load, or land conventionally at any airport in both stol and conventional mode.
The wings for Challenger SC, are not canards, they are load sharing wings, which the center of gravity for the aircraft is just forward the rear wing. which the airfoil used for this aircraft is a very high lift capacity which ensures that besides it is able to fly at a high velocity, that maximum lift capacity is achieved for a higher altitude cruise.
This aircraft can take off from a parking lot or vertiport in New York City and Land in a parking lot or vertiport in Chicago.
Since this aircraft is highly configurable, it can also be utilized as a medical transport, utility/cargo, and other related usages.

Is this a version of the bean pot or something else? It has the same little handles as my bean pot. Here's another picture of this piece.
Update: Found out it's a plain casserole base!
It's numbered #024-OR-624-B (“T.M. Reg – Pyrex, U.S. Pat Off”).
I paid: $3.99.

Langen Foundation Neuss, Germany
Main building by Tadao Ando
The Langen Foundation is located at the Raketenstation Hombroich, a former NATO base, in the midst of the idyllic landscape of the Hombroich cultural environment. Visitors enter through a cut-out in the semicircular concrete wall, opening up the view to the glass, steel and concrete building. A path, bordered by a row of cherry trees, guide visitors around the pond to the entrance on the longitudinal side of the building. The glass envelope, supported by steel girders, protects the perimeter around the 76 meter long, 10.8 meter wide and 6 meter high concrete core. Reflections in the glass skin and in the water of the shallow pond dissolve borders and communicate an impression of weightlessness. The ticket office and museum shop break through the concrete core and connect with the northern side of the glass envelope, where the border between inside and outside can be experienced along its entire length. The polished concrete floor is inlaid with turquoise illuminated strips. The building is composed of two architecturally distinct complexes: a long concrete structure within a glass envelope and, at a 45 degree angle, two parallel concrete wings buried six meters deep in the earth and protruding only 3.45 meters above it. A grand stairway between the two wings of the building leads back to ground level. The long and narrow (43 x 5.4 meters) exhibition room in the concrete core, reserved for the Langen Foundation Japanese collection, receives daylight through linear light rails worked into the ceiling. On the south side of building, between the concrete core and the glass envelope, the pathway descends slightly toward the mezzanine overlooking the 8 meter tall exhibition wings containing the Modern I and Modern II galleries. The two galleries, each 436 square meters, have identical dimensions but appear very different. In Modern I a concrete ramp takes up almost half of the space where as Modern II presents itself in pure size and monumentality. The two galleries receive daylight through central narrow skylights with adjustable slats. The Langen Foundation is a masterpiece composed of lines and a fascinating interplay between inside and outside, art and nature, massiveness and lightness. It is a constructed place that is not only an envelope for art but also exhibits itself.
The Hombroich Missile Base is part of the visionary project of collector Karl-Heinrich Müller to turn a "neglected corner of the earth" in North-Rhine Westphalia into a unique synthesis of art and nature. After the development of the Museum Insel Hombroich, he bought the 13 hectares of land of a former NATO base in 1994. Not marked on any map, this area served defence purposes and the storage of cruise missile warheads and Pershing rockets. In 1992/93 it was mothballed as a result of the disarmament agreements between the NATO states and the former USSR. The overall concept, developed by Karl-Heinrich Müller, Erwin Heerich, Oliver Kruse and Katsuhito Nishikawa between 1994 and 1995, was not to completely eradicate the history of the location but to provide it with a new face and purpose. Military elements like barbed wire fences, spotlight systems and bullet-proof glass were removed. The halls, hangars, bunker systems, earth berms and observation tower were preserved, renovated and, in part, redesigned. New buildings by Heerich and Nishikawa complemented the existing ensemble, as did sculptures by Heinz Baumüller, Mark di Suvero, and Eduardo Chillida, among others. Tadao Ando's big arch, today's entrance to the Langen Foundation, was realized in 1998/99 as one of the first buildings serving as a portal to the missile base.
Site area: 120,220 m2; Building area museum by Ando: 1,860 m2; Opening 2004.

Frontier Airlines, Inc. is a low-cost airline based at Denver International Airport in Denver, Colorado, USA. The carrier operates flights throughout the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Frontier is a major low-cost airline with two thirds of its US destinations west of the Mississippi River.
On April 10, 2008, Frontier announced that it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy due to its credit card processor, First Data, attempting to withhold significant proceeds from ticket sales. First Data suddenly decided that it would withhold 100% of the carrier's proceeds from ticket sales beginning May 1st. According to Frontier's press release, "This change in practice would have represented a material change to our cash forecasts and business plan. Unchecked, it would have put severe restraints on Frontier's liquidity..." Its operation continues uninterrupted, though, as Chapter 11 bankruptcy protects the corporation's assets and allows restructuring to ensure long-term viability.
The A319 is a shortened, minimum change version of the A320.
